If you don't grow EXACTLY like xtsho, you're doing it wrong, buddy!

So he’s claimed daily in every post he comments on. Self proclaimed master grower.

But did you see his tomatoes? Legendary green thumb, right there!

One day I hope to post 15000 posts on a forum and grow fiya tomato’s too. I’ll have to settle with my broccoli until then.

I never proclaimed anything. You're just mad that some of us don't follow your naive knowledge. You're stuck on all your unnecessary and overpriced cannabis specific products that you try and justify despite seeing many other growers like myself getting the same results with mere pennies compared to what you spend. Growers like you have turned growing cannabis into some kind of science experiment and act like you're growing plants on mars or something. It's a damn plant that people have been growing for thousands of years without all your convoluted methods, techniques, and bottles of products.

If you don't like what I have to say then ignore my posts. It's that simple. Even simpler than growing cannabis. I'm actually flattered that you and your buddy picked me for your daily taunts. I felt like I was being ignored.

I use probably one of the most simple nutrient regimes out there. And very cheap too. Not sure where you are getting that I use cannabis specific anything. Can you link me to where this was said By me please master?


oh wait it’s just part of the recycled bullshit you,post daily on everyone else’s posts that’s why.

Each to their own I guess, let's not polarize different techniques as we do now with current political opinions.. disagreeing with someone used to be ok

As my fellow chef's practice in the kitchen 'less is more' which is often the case with plants. The Korean Natural farming book JADAM is all about that practice, letting nature(sun, water, air and earth) do their thing on their own and not to question everything

I use Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur line. I think I pay like $50 a plant for nutes. Roast me now!

I just made a post yesterday about JADAM and Korean Natural Farming. I'd much rather be engaged in an intelligent discussion about those topics.

smoothie meal?

I started wondering about the use of cannabis leafs for nutrients and i guess you could brew a tea from them like from any other plant. But i started wondering about the use of fresh leafs that have been made to a smoothie with a blender. My guess is that the leafs contain tons of nitrogen and i...

Why would I bother testing anything? I'm using the same water soluble dry nutrients I've been using for years. They haven't changed. The same measurements I was using 7 years ago give me the same EC today. I know how much of each part to use. If the EC doesn't change after so many years why bother testing each time? Same thing with pH. My water is always within 0.1. My nutrients and water haven't changed so it takes the same amount of pH down to get to 6.0 pH which is where I like it for coco. In soil I don't check anything. There's no need to keep checking the same thing when the results are always the same.

It has nothing to do with stoner bovine excrement. Stoner bovine excrement is fiddling with your plants to no end instead of letting them grow which is really all you need to do to have healthy plants from start to finish.

It has nothing to do with cheapskate bovine excrement. If being a cheapskate means not getting ripped off by marketing companies selling crap you don't need to grow cannabis then I'm a proud cheapskate.

You're phony expertise comment is rather funny. I watch all these so called growers with crispy fried plants constantly posting about this deficiency or some other issue all while using every worthless product targeted to naive cannabis growers known to man. Testing runoff, trying to get runoff to match what they put in. Endless wastes of time with many doing more harm than good to their plants.

I grow more than just cannabis and have been growing plants of one kind or another for 5 decades. I have a garden and harvest loads of delicious produce from healthy plants. I grow berries and harvest gallons of sweet berries. I grow flowers and have a yard full of beautiful flowers. I have probably 50 houseplants of different kinds growing in my house. I grow orchids and other exotics. I have a greenhouse and start everything from seed. I grow more than just cannabis but one thing is the same regardless of what I grow. All my plants grow healthy and lush.

If you want to call me a phony that's your right and I'm not going to give it another thought. I can look at my plants or go out in my garden. The results are all I care about and they're always good.

Have a nice day.

I have a TDS meter but I rarely use it. I've been using the same nutrients for so long I just measure them out using an old plastic measuring spoon. I don't feed heavy 1.6 - 1.8 EC maximum throughout the grow. I also don't bother to check pH very often anymore. The water here is treated to be a certain pH and I just measure out the same amount of pH down per gallon as normal. When I do check it's always within the range where I want it to be. That's with coco. In soil I never check anything. When I mix nutes for soil I use half what I use for coco and I don't even worry about pH and have never once in my life bothered checking TDS in soil which isn't in any way reliable by performing a slurry test. That's used to test pH.

If you feed a plant properly from start to finish you won't have any deficiencies. A good percentage of deficiencies are not caused by a lack of anything but too much of something. So don't overfeed and you won't have any issues.

Over care is 80% of the mortality rate in this hobby, i wager lol

the 1:5 method is a professional industry standard to test soil - depending on manufacturer/ brand you can see it at the datasheet of your soil products.

by overcare you mean straight up ignorance. That is what testing and basic agronomic concepts address.

I chopped this Useful plant 15 minutes ago

 

[xtsho]

by overcare you mean straight up ignorance. That is what testing and basic agonomic concepts address.

Ignorance is not knowing what is in what your feeding your plants. If you know what you're feeding then you know what you have based on the volume of water to fertilizer. It's simple math. You have one gallon of water and it takes X measurement of ABC to = Z. If that doesn't change then why do you have to test? The ignorance is people dumping all kinds of concoctions on their plants without even having a basic understanding of what's in it or how strong it is. Once you've added something and tested it a couple times why do you need to keep measuring what doesn't change?

I swear, cannabis growers have made growing a plant into some intricate, convoluted, process.

Keep at it. It's your time not mine. I haven't even looked at my plants in 2 days and they're right there in the garage. They're doing just fine. I don't need to be testing everything half a dozen times a day or hover over my plants for hours. Keep doing your thing. I'll keep doing mine.

bro you're so ridiculously insecure, defensive and blind to your own naivete. You refuse to acknowledge that you have no idea of the knowledge you lack. you're oblivious to the plain reality that you dont know what you dont know.

He’s what I call one of these textbook growers. Reads lots of books but never actually grows a fucking thing. Hence the recycled pictures he posts over the last 3 years of the same grow over and over.

Like tomorrow he will post in some noobs thread a grow he posted 3 years ago and tell them that he never overfeeds and they are wasting their money on bottles.

 

[xtsho]

It's like a coordinated attack I must have pissed a bunch of people off by stating the truth. We have @bk78 , @radiant Rudy , and @Shape Shifter , all acting in unison with none of them saying anything of substance. Just name calling, vitriol, and anger towards someone just growing some plants and offering their experiences growing to others. That's okay. I'm unfazed. Bring in some more shills.

its in any grower forum the same, one just mentions a pH stick right immediately someone jumps against it...

but to each their own... methods & materials may vary... esp. if not "dialed in" yet... cant compare outdoor to indoor growing - too many differences...
